Wineskin Crashes Mac

I downloaded Sims 4 on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) about a week ago. I played on it just fine for 2 days and now it crashes every time I open it. At first, I could at least get to the main menu before it would freeze and I would have to manually turn off my computer because I couldn't even ex. You can try switching to the Mac driver by right-clicking the wrapper, click Show Package Contents, double-click Wineskin, select Set Screen Options, put a check in the Use Mac Driver Instead of X11, and press Done. Once you have the game installed make sure you pick the right.exe that is the game itself most games will crash because it must rely on the CD like Need for Speed Carbon which you need to use a No-CD Patch or like Monopoly Tycoon patch it to 1.4 and disable the intro movie or it will crash. Here's Monopoly Casino running in a wineskin wrapper. If there is a X11 session open (just click on Utilities/X11.app) then launching an application packaged with Wineskin will crash Wineskin. If they are incompatible each other then when starting Wineskin we could check if there exist a different X11 session and show a message to the user.

Try getting the logs from Wineskin, use Test Run from within the Wineskin app in the wrapper and recreate the error, after it crashes Wineskin will ask to view the files, one of the files will likely have a stack trace from the crash. Wineskin will continue to say its busy while you are in different settings, if you are done installing.

**UPDATED Solution**
Hey <Friend>s - I was able to figure this out after not sleeping and drinking a few cases of Labatt.
There's a solution that is awesome - that I can share with you as a result too!
It's called Wineskin and it emulates all the good things that Wine does from command line, with an easier to deal with UI. Also did mention? If you install 2 wrappers, you can Dual Box on Mac??
My Key Takeaways before I write the steps are as follows (
you can skip this if you just want instructions just go down to
SOLUTION 1: ADVANCED: Build your own wrapper
SOLUTION 2: EASY: Download the Wrapper I built and extract the App)
1.) FFXI Nasomi needs a 32BIT Wine Prefix to work. Granted that is a step in the Mac Guides, but its not really emphasized that much. But it should be emphasized more. Wine 32 BIT prefix is going to work
2.) Wine-stable 5.0 had a lot of over-rides in winecfg that seemed to mess with the install of the game. So the game needs resources from DLL files in order to run. Debugging what was missing in Wine-stable was an absolute nightmare, I could get error messages from time to time, but there were a lot of them.
3.) Even though Wine-stable 5.0 had errors, it still managed to run the Game installer. But a key take away was that if the Sound didnt load, and you got an MCF failure, there was already a problem with the DLL files needed to play the game. So I could install it, it would error, you'd get a little play / grey window for the music, and install would go as usual - eventually resulting in a client that didnt load any graphics.
4.) similar to 3, after a faulty install, the files might all be there, but the DLLs might not have been configured or there might've been some kind of conflict from Native vs Windows overrides (something that is managed in Winecfg). So if you go to load ToolsUS -> Final Fantasy XI Config.exe with wine, it'll crash. ((later in debugging this behavior, i found that error message pointed to a specific and familiar DLL file which was supposedly missing the d3d8.dll for DirectX 8. In working to clear this error, I realized directx was installed on the wine file system, but it wasnt being read.
5.) back to the number 1, 32 bit install is everything. If you don't install 32bit wine version, you're going to have a bad time, and by bad time i basically mean DLL Hell. DLL's you need will be there, but they wont be referenced correctly.. and you'll get lots of errors if you debug the boot.exe or even if you just load it normally.

The Solution Process..
Wineskin -(well sort of) a wrapper for wine. A wrapper is basically a self-enclosed file system with its own UI and a way to preserve settings. I recently downloaded Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/ephinea-psobb-client-for-macos-10-15-catalina.18493/, and someone made it work in a Wineskin wrapper. After researching what this was I said - this is awesome. I'll just install FFXI into the same wrapper, and change the main .exe that boots to boot.exe. Well its not that simple. Somethings worked, but others didnt. PSOBB uses windows XP, had to change default setting to Win7 in wine cfg, etc, etc. But the main thing is it would rung because it wasn't a 32 Bit Wrapper.
So I gave up on wineskin, and went back to wine-stable, the less user-friendly and more command line orientated way but that didn't work. So i uninstalled everything.
Wineskin wrappers are made with Wineskin Winery, which you can find on WineHQ.com as a download. But the kicker here is that I kept getting 64bit installs and the wrapper ui was not allowing me to find the 32bit Engine i needed.
So i went to github and found a Wineskin Winery Branch (a branch here is someone who took the original source code for WW, and forked it (copied) into a new source code library in order to modify or update it as they see fit) The Github repo stores the code. ((https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer ((I'll put this in steps too)) )). Basically you go to Releases and download this link: (( https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer ... Winery.zip )) and from that link you get an awesome modified version of Wineskin Winery called Unofficial Wineskin Winery to create a 32 Bit compatible Wrapper. From there - I found a youtube video where someone used this to create a 32BIT gaming Wine Wrapper (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2f9vROQJ-9c )) And what you see at around 1:10 is that he chooses an engine which will understand the 32bit system DLL's and architecture of windows in Wine. WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.1-1. I found it worked with Wrapper Version Wineskin 2.9.06 best and that in order to get 2.9.0.6 you needed to click update in the Unofficial Wineskin Winery on 2.9 Wrapper. This might seem a bit heavy, but I wanted to document it.. Anyways once I created the New Wrapper, On mac you go find it (you're prompted to show in folder) Right click the wrapper -> Show Contents -> click on Wineskin. There you will get a menu with advanced options. And this what you can do with that:
Tools->
>>Config Utility (winecfg) -> lets you look at the DLL overrides and Operating system configurations for each .exe or global.
>>Task Manager (taskmgr) -> lets you run things just like Task Manager in windows, also lets you view what is running which is helpful for if you're testing or trying to run programs
>>Command Line (cmd) -> this is the most important part, use this to actually run the game once everything is installed ((I'll show in the both manual / pre-packaged Options below)

Solution 1: ADVANCED Manually Recreate my Process and make your own Wrapper
1.1.) Download Unofficial Wineskin Winery V1.8.4 from Github Releases:
Releases: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/releases
Direct Link: [url]https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/releases/download/V1.8.4/Unofficial.Wineskin.Winery.zip[url]
1.2.) Install Unofficial Wineskin Winery from the zip file (it might automatically unzip in downloads folder)
1.3.) Install 'WS11WineCX64Bit19.0.1-1' Engine to your Unofficial Wineskin Winery
1.4.) Create a new Wrapper with the above engine selected, be sure to click update to the 2.9.06 WineSkin Wrapper if prompted
1.5.) Show the new Wrapper in folder, Right Click Rename FFXI Wrapper
1.6.) Right click on the FFXI Wrapper -> show package contents
1.7.) Double-click Wineskin
1.8.) Click Advanced -> Install Software -> Choose NasomiXI.exe from wherever you saved your NasomiXI.v20 folder on your mac HD, usually its in Downloads.
1.9.) Follow Prompts like normal Nasomi Install process, change the directory to C:NasomiXI instead of programfiles(x86) * pay attention here if you have music playing or any error messages pop up. Click 'NO' if it asks you to uninstall previous versions detected.
1.10.) Back on Wineskin Advanced under configuration tab: put 'C:NasomiXISquareEnixFINAL FANTASY XIToolsUSFINAL FANTASY XI Config.exe' ((including the quotes)) as the Windows EXE: value.
1.11.) under Tools tab in Wineskin Advanced, Click Command Line (cmd). You should see a black windows command line box. (((If you see a blue Terminal or Mac terminal here, there's something wrong with the install, probably previous installs affecting it. You'll want to uninstall everything and start over, I had to do this using Wine-Stable, i dont think you'll run into this in Wineskin, but just be aware)))
1.12.) ((BIG STEP SORRY)) the terminal we are in windows now, and can run anything just like windows would. so we want to use these commands to move around:
So we want to cd .. twice from C:windowssyswow64 up to C: drive then cd nasomixisquareenixfinal fantasy xitoolsus then type 'Final Fantasy XI Config.exe' to launch config.
We will use all the same settings from Mantic's great post in our wrapper with a small twist highlighted in green:
Quote:
Find your resolution in Apple Icon - About this Mac -> Displays.
On the Screen Size tab in ToolsUSFinal Fantasy XI Config.exe , set all 3 to the resolution you just found (possibly half of your resolution for background and menu if things are very small).
On the General tab, set to Borderless Window (I also tested Windowed Mode, and it works )-> Agree when it prompts you to confirm this setting.
On the Textures tab, leave default settings.
On the Effects tab, set Environmental Animation to Smooth (optional).
On the Sound tab, set to always on (optional).
On the Misc. tab, turn opening movie off (optional), enable Hardware Mouse, enable Graphics Stabilization.
On the Misc 2. tab, leave default settings.
Press OK -> Save Settings? -> Yes -> Settings Saved -> OK
Close the Terminal window.
https://na.nasomi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8828&hilit=do+script+cd+%7E%2F.wine%2Fdrive_c%2F
1.13.) In Wineskin Advanced under Options tab, click the box use F1, F2, etc keys as standard function keys.
1.14.) Update the Launcher using Finder in Mac. So Go back to the FFXI Wrapper in finder-> Show Package Contents.
Now you'll need to download the latest Nasomi Launcher: https://na.nasomi.com/software/Ashita.zip
Unzip the file and then Copy the Ashita folder over the Ashita folder using FINDER to drive_cnasomixisquareenix
Be sure to replace the contents of Ashita completely when prompted by Finder.
1.15.) We are now ready to run Nasomi on your very own Custom Unofficial 32BIT WineSkin. To do this go under Tools tab in Wineskin Advanced, Click Command Line (cmd). Navigate to C: using same commands as above. Then cd C:NasomiSquarEnixAshitaffxi-bootmod
Now since we're in windows cmd line running in Wineskin we don't need to use the wine command like we would if we were in terminal on OSX. So now to just type: boot.exe
You can watch how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPdUHA4ujcI
And if you've updated the launcher, you should see a ping from 3 different servers and the command line tell you which was closest to you, and you'll be given the prompts to login.
It's not ideal right now - but I cant figure out a way for Wineskin to run the Boot.exe from Wineskin's main function without using the CMD Line tool. So for now - if you double click on the FFXI Wrapper, you'll get the FFXI Config.exe
SOLUTION 2: EASY - Use my DMG to deploy my wineskin configuration and just download the APP:
2.) Download my Wineskin Wrapper Updated Hosting of DMG file. Download this file, and Extract the contents of the DMG 'FFXI Wrapper' to Applications by dragging it into Applications
Download FFXI Wrapper 2.1.7 Link: https://mega.nz/file/zoVyFKDB#dK5Dmy70d-aSbdsUdzNxn0LJRjGmiz1cdXirKnPQQso
2.2.) Follow step in Step (1.12) to make sure your resolution in FFXI config matches your Mac
2.3.) Finally follow the video on how to boot and login once you extract FFXI Wrapper to Applications.
How To Boot and Login: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPdUHA4ujcI
I've noticed that first time I ran Wineskin on my wife's Mojave Mac, the app bounced in the dock for awhile, I thought it was frozen, but it eventually ran, eta about <3minutes first time its running.
OPTIONAL DUAL BOX METHOD: Install 2 Wrappers and install the game twice, yeah itll take up twice as much room for both WineSkin Wrappers and both installs of Nasomi, but if you do -- you can Dual box on Mac, just boot up separate Wineskin wrappers and follow the Boot and Login method for both, using Windowed mode and lower Resolutions to something like 800x600.
Cheers - Let me know if you need help with the steps below in the comments or if you find any bugs.

This is resolved by making sure your resolution of FFXI Config.exe matches your mac's display.

Wineskin Crashes Mac Download

Hello fellow Mac gamers:
Unfortunately, I have to say at this moment, it is not possible to make working port of PoE on OSX, due to several reasons:
However the main reason is OSX system itself
This game relies heavily on streaming data from big file. While this is not problem on Windows or Linux, OSX does not like it, especially when mmap() method is used to accessing this data. OSX implementation of mmap is extremely slow on large files, and over the time, the game file (content.ggpk) has bloated from <5GB during alpha to 18GB+ nowadays. This is also the reason why the game loading times gets slower and lags during gameplay higher with every patch.
For technical people, lets consider this C code
This code tests 1000 mmaps allocation in 4kB, 64kB and 1024kB blocks on file io_benchmark.dat. On Linux, this code runs <1s (actually for 4kb its <100ms). While on OSX it runs for at least 10+seconds regardless of amount of data read. This is reason behind slow loading times and lags ingame. If the data resides on HDD/SDD or directly in memory, it does not matter, the speed remains about same.
To make this game works trough wine on OSX in playable fashion, one of the following has to happen
1) Apple will rewrite mmap implementation in their OSX kernel (unlikely, I opened bug report for this years ago, and it got closed as duplicate, no progress)
2) Wine would need to rewrite their memory management to avoid using mmap. This is also unlikely, because alternate approaches would slower the allocation on Linux, while it would speed it up on OSX, but OSX is not Wine main target
3) GGG would change their data system to instead using content.ggpk to large amount of smaller files (max 100MB, ideally one file per each effect). I guess this is the most likely scenario, if GGG is willing to support PoE on Mac at least passively.
Also, as most of you noticed, newer OSX has implemented checks on created application, and will complain about corrupted app even if it is ok. This can be workaround by giving specific instructions how to install the game from scratch, however until one of the above happens, there is no point in writing such guide.
So how can I play the game on Mac
Not trough wine, that's for sure. However there are alternatives but each one require installation of Windows
Best performing:
Bootcamp - you will end up in dual boot between OSX and Windows. This gives native and full performance, but you need to reboot each time to change OS.
Virtualization - This does not give you full performance, and comes with additional cost as none of the major provider does not give the app for free.
The best performing one are Parallels Desktop and VmWare Fusion. These have full DX9 implementation and nowadays possibly even DX11, there is minor performance loss (~10-20%) compared to bootcamp.
You can also try Oracle VirtualBox which is for free and should have good DX9 support, but it would definitely be the slowest solution (not as slow as trough wine though).

Here I present you the unofficial Path of Exile for Mac.
Is this port of the game for Mac?
Technically no, this wrapper just provides means to OSX to run native Windows applications. Therefore the game version is exactly same as on Windows with all its bugs features.
System Requirements
The game is not compatible with AMD cards running on Snow Leopard and Lion
OSX 10.12 High Sierra tested
OSX 10.13 Mojave tested
older, who knows :)
Macbook pro late 2011 and newer tested
Installation instructions
Download, double click, unpack (for example move the icon to application folder), double click, play
Please read Known issues before downloading, you will save yours and mine time
Downloads

1. Game will print error first time its launched (WIPfactory blah blah) just keep pressing ok until it crashes, then the game will ask you if it should run in DirectX 9 mode. click yes, enjoy.
2. Once loaded disable multithreading in graphical options in menu
3. At current state, the port is suitable only for crafting and trading, the normal gameplay will be laggy as hell
Path of Exile v9 (448MB) - mediafire



Path of Exile v8 (277MB) - mediafire

If you encounter Failed resetting Direct3D device objects upon launch set game to fullscreen as described in FAQ below
Please read before downloading
This is experimental version, please report any issue you encounter except:
Long loading times
Stuttering (fps lag)
Known issues:
Command+tab from game with fullscreen settings might break the game (white screen)
The game should run much faster than v4.x versions

Path Of exile 4.1.2 - mediafire (154MB)


This version is NOT compatible with OSX 10.6 and 10.7 at all
If you encounter Failed resetting Direct3D device objects upon launch set game to fullscreen as described in FAQ below
Path of Exile v4.2 - mediafire


___________________________________________________________________
Known Issues
Immediate crash without any reason - For whatever reason, Razer synapse drivers will crash the game
Failed resetting Direct3D device objects - can be workaround by manually setting game to fullscreen mode (FAQ) (Solved in v6)
FPS Drop/Lags - When casting spell, encountering rare mobs, the frame rate spikes - 2 causes:
OSX bug which is responsible for longer loading screens and unfortunately there is no known solution for that.
Game is not preloading some monster effects = this issue is known to GGG, and according to this they are working on solution. Occurs on windows as well... Blame devs ;) update should be somewhat improved in v5 and after Poe 1.3.1.
Game may open in small window, solution below.
The launcher may take a long time to allocate resources (up to 30 minutes) on first install
The port inherits the rare bugs which may occur on windows, so there will be crashes and/or graphical glitches.
The port is know not to run on some configuration by default with D3ERR_INVALIDCALL error (possible workaround below in FAQ)
Loading times are longer - this is OSX bug and unfortunately there is no known solution for that.
___________________________________________________________________
FAQ
Port specific issues

1) Right click on old wrapper->Show contents->navigate to drive_c/Program Files/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile
2) copy/move the content.ggpk file to the other wrapper to same location as above.

How to disable gatekeeper - Mountain Lion and later

Temporary workaround: Right click the wrapper -> Open
Permanent workaround: Open system preferences -> Search for gatekeeper-> allow all sources


reboot the OS X (the /tmp will get cleaned along with the lock file)
Or if you are advanced user
delete the lockfile from /tmp (the lock file will be named like 'xWSxUsersxUsernamexblablaxtadatatada.app' (but make sure there are not any hanged wine processes)


You can find it in Documents/My Games/Path of Exile directory.
For editing use textedit


edit production_config.ini (use spotlight (cmd+space) to find it) and change
fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true
also set the resolution to supported one, or game may crash anyway.
resolution_height=900
resolution_width=1440

Game opens in too small window | Game does not want to enter fullscreen

Press CMD+Enter
OR
edit production_config.ini (use spotlight (cmd+space) to find it) and change
fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true
OR
set in production_config.ini
resolution_height=750
resolution_width=1024


On some system, some window resolution will result into offseted mouse. Currently there are three workarounds
1) use fullscreen mode
2) there is at least one window resolution which will be not offseted (possibly 1280x800)
3) set in production_config.ini
resolution_height=750
resolution_width=1024
fullscreen=false


This may or may not help.
1) Right click the wrapper->Show contents
2) Open wineskin
3) select Advanced->Tools->Winetricks
4) from settings check glsl=enabled and click Run
5) close all Wineskin windows, and try to launch the game


1) Right click the wrapper->Show contents
2) navigate to Contents / Resources / Logs
3) The LastRunWine.log and LastRunX11.log are often needed when troubleshooting

Game Specific

press fn+f1


CMD is your new Alt key ;)


cmd+ctrl+click


Turn off postprocessing in ingame option menu


download and edit whatever loot filter file you want to use then place the file in the following path
/User/YourUserName/Documents/My Games/Path of Exile/
This folder should contain a file called 'production_Config.ini' if not then you are looking in the wrong folder
Put your loot filter file in this folder
Restart PoE
Go to the Options Menu and click the UI tab. Scroll all the way to bottom and look for a setting that is talking about available loot filters
Click that tab/menu and select the loot filter file you want to use.
Now you should be all set (may need to log out you char and log back in) - should see a message on login 'loot filter enabled' or something smililar

-Testing - New type of Ati Fix - (http://portingteam.com/topic/8262-wine-atifix-engine/) - should fix graphical glitches on ATI cards - questionable behavior on nvidia - can be disabled via regedit in HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D by setting OverrideVertexShaders to disabled
-Game will now launch using xQuartz - it is more safe method to launch game, and this way it will not occasionally crash OSX
v3.1
-Compatible with OSX 10.8.2 and 10.7.5

Very easy to install, works like a charm!
Great effort and thank you very much Julus!
Just for the record: even on my Mid 2009 13' MBP with a 256MB Nvidia gfx card works fine.

Perhaps we could have a competition who has the oldest/crummiest Mac that runs Path of Exile.
My entry is a mid 2007 iMac with Intel C2D 2,4GHz, 4GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD 2600 HD, WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm and OS X Mountain Lion. Perfectly playable in native resolution 1680x1050. I don't mind turning off graphical settings, the game looks very good for me.
More to the point, I think it's great that GGG decided to make PoE playable in a whole load of different machines. Official Mac support would be awesome and also make that unmentionable D-game by company A/B rather pointless...

Perhaps we could have a competition who has the oldest/crummiest Mac that runs Path of Exile.
My entry is a mid 2007 iMac with Intel C2D 2,4GHz, 4GB Ram, ATI Radeon HD 2600 HD, WD Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm and OS X Mountain Lion. Perfectly playable in native resolution 1680x1050. I don't mind turning off graphical settings, the game looks very good for me.
More to the point, I think it's great that GGG decided to make PoE playable in a whole load of different machines. Official Mac support would be awesome and also make that unmentionable D-game by company A/B rather pointless...

Well, it seems they have official Wine support (at least the forum topic says so), which should be enough to make the game playable via wine port... It is much easier and cheaper for them to do so, and even bigger companies are beginning to use wineskin port engine (for example, CD Projekt Red and The Witcher RPG)

I just downloaded your wrapper and the game loaded just fine but when i try to fast travel to the prison, the game freezes and gives me an error message telling me it has encountered a serious error and needs to close. i tried this several times and it keeps repeating every time i try. this does not happen on V2 of the wrapper. Any solutions?

If the v2 wrapper works fine for you, then use it. It is almost impossible to make a wrapper which works for all configurations (but I am trying to do so :).
If you still want to use v3 wrapper, then I suggest to add '-gc 1' option to EXE flags, the crash may disappear but for cost of longer loading times:
1) Right click the wrapper->show contents
2) Run wineskin->Click Advanced
3) enter '-gc 1' without quotes into EXE flags field.
Also the crash should be gone with the 0.9.12 (hopefully)
If anyone interested, this look like fix:
Fixed a client crash that could occur whenever entities are deleted if they still had effects in the world.
As I already posted in old topic, the all reported crashes (according to the failing function address) are caused by D3DXDisassembleEffect function which seems to be highly related to be the the issue.

Download, unpack, double click, play
You missed the unpack thing :) just move the game outside of dmg file (to applications or Desktop)
